Artificial Intelligence is no longer just a software story. It is a compute story. In this full episode of Opening Voices, Quentin Adam speaks with Steeve Morin, founder and CEO of ZML, to explore a fundamental question: who controls the compute layer of AI? Together, they unpack: Why AI makes cloud systems compute-bound again The real difference between training and inference Why inference will d...

What happens when AI infrastructure depends on a single compute ecosystem? In this final part of Opening Voices, Quentin Adam concludes his discussion with Steeve Morin, founder and CEO of ZML, to explore how to bring competition back into AI compute. ZML’s approach is simple in principle, difficult in execution: make AI workloads run efficiently on any chip. They discuss: why hardware abstraction...

If AI is to power the entire economy, inference must become affordable, scalable and widely available. In this third part of Opening Voices, Quentin Adam continues the conversation with Steeve Morin, founder and CEO of ZML, to explore what it really takes to industrialise inference. They discuss: why AI must move from “chatbots as products” to AI as an infrastructure primitive why inference will p...

What really separates training a model from running it in production? And why does this difference matter so much at scale? In this second part of Opening Voices , Quentin Adam, CEO of Clever Cloud, continues the discussion with Steeve Morin, founder and CEO of ZML, to clarify a distinction that is often misunderstood. Starting from concrete explanations, Steeve walks through what training and inf...

Why does AI suddenly make cloud infrastructure harder to operate, scale and predict? For years, cloud systems were designed around a simple reality: most applications were limited by network and storage, not by computation. In this first part of Opening Voices, Quentin Adam, CEO of Clever Cloud, talks with Steeve Morin, founder and CEO of ZML, about why this reality no longer holds — and what brea...

How do you build Europe's first sovereign high-performance processor from scratch? What does it take to challenge Intel and AMD with just 200 engineers and €150 million? In this comprehensive episode of Opening Voices, I sit down with Philippe Notton (CEO) and Craig Prunty (VP) from SiPearl to explore Europe's most ambitious semiconductor project: 🔹 How 200 engineers across 5 R&D sites design...

Why are CPUs making a comeback in the age of AI? And how can Europe build a sovereign compute infrastructure in a world dominated by American and Asian tech giants? In this final episode of Opening Voices with the SiPearl team, I sit down with Philippe Notton (CEO) and Craig Prunty (VP) to explore the future of processor design and its impact on AI, sovereignty, and Europe’s industrial strength. W...

Why are tech giants like Apple, Amazon, and Google building their own processors—and what does it mean for Europe? In this new episode of Opening Voices, I sit down with Craig Prunty, VP at SiPearl, to explore how processor design is becoming a strategic lever for performance, sovereignty, and efficiency. We discuss: 🔹 Why ARM is taking over the server market 🔹 The real reasons hyperscalers are...

How can Europe bridge the semiconductor gap with the US and Asia—before it’s too late? In this third part of my conversation with Philippe Notton, CEO of SiPearl, we dig into the real-world consequences of Europe's chip dependency and the massive effort required to catch up. 🔹 Why Europe is at least two decades behind the US in chip design 🔹 How geopolitical shocks like COVID and Ukraine reveale...

What’s really at stake if Europe loses control of its semiconductor industry? In this second part of my conversation with Philippe Notton, CEO of SiPearl—the European company designing processors for tomorrow’s supercomputers—we discuss: 🔹 The hidden geopolitical stakes of processor independence 🔹 Why relying on non-European chips is a critical vulnerability 🔹 The economic and strategic cost of...

What does it take to build Europe's first high-performance microprocessor company? And why are processors essential to our technological sovereignty? In this episode of Opening Voices, I sit down with Philippe Notton, CEO of SiPearl—a European company designing the processors that will power tomorrow’s supercomputers—to explore: 🔹 Why Europe must regain control over its semiconductor infrastructu...

How can Europe reignite its innovation engine and avoid falling behind in the global tech race? What lessons can Europe learn from the US DARPA model? In this pilot episode of Opening Voices, I speak with André Loesekrug-Pietri, Chairman of JEDI (Joint European Disruptive Initiative), often called the 'European ARPA,' to explore: 🔹 The origins and mission of JEDI in driving disruptive innovation...

How can Europe turn its incredible scientific potential into global technology leaders? In this episode of Opening Voices, I talk to André Loesekrug-Pietri, President of JEDI (Joint European Disruptive Initiative), to discuss the challenges and opportunities shaping Europe's technological future. We discuss: 🔹 The role of researchers and universities in creating a dynamic European ecosystem; 🔹 T...

How can Europe overcome its institutional challenges to become a global technology leader? In this episode of Opening Voices, I talk to André Loesekrug-Pietri, Chairman of JEDI (Joint European Disruptive Initiative), about the strategic issues shaping the future of research and innovation in Europe. On the programme: 🔹 Technological maturity levels (TRL) and their role in research and development...

How can Europe catch up with the United States and China in terms of cutting-edge technological innovation? What role can bold initiatives like JEDI play in shaping Europe's technological future?
